[QUOTE="gintable, post: 2463134, member: 739385"] "Green technology" is a nickname for technology which hopefully will help humans be environmentally conscious in their actions of using said technology. Being environmentally conscious is a GOOD THING. We have one planet, and we need to use it responsibly. It only has finite resources that it can offer us, no matter what resource you examine. True green technology is a good thing too. Nothing is wrong with technology aiding us to use less resources. What is NOT a good thing is what is called "greenwashing". Greenwashing is a type of brainwashing whereby which the marketing strategy is to dishonestly advertise one's product so that people think it is a green technology when it really might not be. Rather than being the green of a healthy planet Earth, it is secretly the green of money instead. There is always a (for lack of a better opposite of green) magenta side of everything. Magenta representing resource consumption and pollution. Everything pollutes, the real question of a green technology is...does this pollute LESS than the existing alternative per unit of what we want it to do? It is important to be a responsible consumer and ask yourself this test and research it before being succeptable to greenwashing. [/QUOTE]
